Jay states that he is committed to building on the community’s strong foundation and steering the county to a more prosperous future
John Jay announced his candidacy for Clark County Council, District 3. Jay’s decision comes with a deep respect for the current county councilor, Karen Dill Bowerman, who he believes has admirably served the community. Jay is committed to building on the community’s strong foundation and steering the county to a more prosperous future.
As Clark County anticipates significant growth in the next decade, Jay emphasizes the necessity for forward-thinking and strategic planning. His campaign is centered on key issues that are critical to the county’s success: enhancing public safety, addressing homelessness, resolving housing challenges, fostering economic growth, and maintaining fiscal responsibility.
“Clark County is a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family, and I intend to keep it that way,” said Jay. “Our community deserves a council that not only responds to its immediate needs but also plans prudently for our future. I am ready to take on this responsibility and work tirelessly to protect and enhance our quality of life.”
Jay’s platform focuses on supporting our first responders and public safety, creating compassionate solutions to homelessness, promoting policies that make housing more affordable and accessible, and driving economic initiatives that will benefit all residents of Clark County.
“John Jay represents the best of Clark County — dedicated, forward-thinking, and deeply committed to public service. His vision for our community is not just about meeting today’s challenges but about anticipating tomorrow’s opportunities,” said Rep. Paul Harris, 17th Legislative District. “I believe John is the right leader to guide the county through its next chapters of growth and prosperity.”
Jay launched his campaign with support from Harris and fellow Rep. Kevin Waters of the 17th Legislative District; Clark County Public Utilities Commissioner Nancy Barnes and Washougal Mayor David Stuebe.
As a member of the Clark County Parks Advisory Board, Jay embraces and promotes the natural beauty of Washington for all to enjoy and experience. He is committed to making Clark County a better place for everyone. With a focus on integrity, innovation, and inclusivity, he invites all members of the community to join him in shaping a bright future for Clark County.
